Living life is not always easy. At times, you can cope with day-to-day struggles and challenges with little effort. However, there are times in life when you will find your head barely above water. During those rough times, you need to find methods to cope with the pain effectively. Music is one remedy that can help lift you up.

I have assembled a playlist that contains 52 of the most motivational and inspirational songs of 2015. This playlist only has music that provides encouragement and gives hope. The lyrics of these songs, completely free of angst and melancholy, motivate the listener to celebrate life and to rise above the ashes.

My hope is that you will find some peace and enjoyment in these songs as you work through your difficult circumstances. Enjoy.

When I walk through deep waters
I know that You will be with me
When I’m standing in the fire
I will not be overcome
Through the valley of the shadow
I will not fear
– “I Am Not Alone” by Kari Jobe
